Setting Up a SAN Volume
35
Step 14:
(Optional) Set User and Group Quotas
You can set up quotas to control how much space in each SAN volume is used by each
user or group.
1
If the volume is not already started, select it in the SAN Components list and click Start
Volume.
2
With the volume still selected, click Quotas.
3
Click the Add (+) button, then drag a user or group from the drawer to the quotas list.
If you don’t see the SAN users in the drawer, open Directory Access (in
/Applications/Utilities) and make sure you’re using the correct directory for user
authentication.
4
Select the user or group in the quotas list and adjust their quota settings in the lower
half of the window.
Soft Quota: The user’s recommended working maximum. The user can exceed this
limit as needed, but only for the length of time specified following “Quota locked after.”
Hard Quota: The absolute maximum amount of storage the user’s data can occupy.
“Quota locked after...”: The length of time the user can exceed their soft quota before
it automatically becomes a hard quota.
